Allah grant us tawfīq to represent the Hanbalī Atharī tradition. This short course is a preparatory course for a series of classical Atharī texts that will be taught, Allah willing, by those will sanad in the Atharī tradition.
I remember debating an atheist. I said that we love our Prophet ﷺ more than our parents. He said, “I feel sorry for your parents.” I smiled & said, “If only you knew what he ﷺ taught us about them.” Every time I see something beautiful like this, I say: Fidaka Ya Rasul Allah.
The big shock for many in the West is that people in general, and Muslims in specific, don’t give a damn about “the narrative”. We don’t care. The post war-on-terror generation is getting over the trauma. Get ready for the intellectual and spiritual beast.
We have launched an online Madrasa called Open Madrasa. The aspiration is to spread, as widely as possible, why Islam is perfect from a rational & spiritual perspective. May Allah aid us. Duas requested.

Don’t ever quote Ibn Taymīya when dealing with ‘Aqā’id. Throw away his dar ta’ārud & other works in ‘Aqīdah. If you do, then you are a hypocrite. I thought some brothers had matured and grown up. I thought it was kids saying really very silly things on here. I was wrong.
I saw a post asking
@RealHasanSpiker
to debate someone who doesn’t even know Arabic, nor has any formal Islamic training. This is disrespectful to Shaykh Hasan. For Twitter gangsters you send in the foot soldiers, not a General.
A resurgence of M’utazili ideas under Taymiyan Salafism: Allah ‘must’ do what is best or He acts in a serial manner, in speech or act, has never been, and never will, be accepted.
Again, this reminds me of the braindead Salafis from 10-15 years ago. I really thought these guys had grown up. They need to sit with
@mohammed_hijab
and learn to move on from this type of Ghetto Salafism. If Al-Dhahhabī called him Hujjat al-Islam, then be humble.
It is said that Imam Malik pointed to the grave of the Prophet ﷺ and said: "One may choose to accept or reject from anyone, except from the dweller of this grave."
Everyone agrees with this until you reject something said by their favorite shaikh, pir, or hujjat al-islam.
Lying is impossible for God. His Knowledge is perfect, hence His acts and Kalam are perfect, free from lying and folly.
Kizb is non correspondence to truth. God’s acts and speech express His Knowledge. His knowledge is truth.

Lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā biLlāh. I am very disturbed. Fear Allah. If you burn his books you can forget knowing the Sunnah. Shaykh Albani said it was ‘zulm’ to call them people of bid’ah (let alone what has been said here) whilst he affirmed they were Ashari. See below.
Beautifully said. It’s always been about the Prophet ﷺ. We love his companions for his sake, we love his family for his sake, and we love his awlīyā’ for his sake. It’s always about him ﷺ.
The lineage of the Prophet ﷺ and to the Prophet ﷺ is greater than all the other lineages in the world.
If you cannot accept this, there is something wrong with you. Reinvigorate your heart with His ﷺ love and you will realize it that anything connected to Him ﷺ is superior.
Question to Asharis:
If the apparent meaning of revelation indicates anthropomorphism, why would God and his Messengerﷺ insist on using such terminology despite the vastness of Arabic and while knowing their audience are mostly illiterate laymen, were they trying to confuse us?

Qiyāma will be an interesting Day. All the lies, treachery, and deceit exposed. The only standard of morality then will be the Final Judge; for He is Malik Yawm al-Dīn. What a depressing world it would be without faith in that Day. What a sorrowful life without judgment.
Shaykh al-Islām, Pīr Qamar al-Dīn al-Siālvī al-Chishtī, gives a response and some advice to a student wanting to learn about Wahdat al-Wujūd. He gives his own position and follows it with advice. I have translated it below as a thread. The Persian text is also here.
The Farangi Mahall tradition of Kalam was a synthesis between classical Ash’ari/Maturidi Kalam, Illuminationism, and Akbarianism. If that offends you, I’m sorry. But, we can’t lie about our tradition.
As long as the Ummah has the Beloved ﷺ as the leader of its caravan, it braves the depths of the desert of fitna. Beware those who seek to diminish his centrality ﷺ. He always was central. He always will be.

Planning on teaching this iA. We have some brothers with ijāzāt in the works of the Hanābila. I think it’s time we really focus on making that really important distinction between the Hanābila Atharīya and those that claim them. Not for arguments sake, but for truth.

I graduated from Jamia al-Karam and am indebted to them. I had run of money and the Shaykh wavered my fees and sponsored me himself. He is a deeply generous man. I lived at the Madrasa for years studying. We need the support of our brethren to keep producing ‘ulamā’.

This isn’t honesty, brother Jake. The Asharites affirms relations ta’luqāt with the produced effects. You know this. We have spoken. I could share modern Salafi saying something erroneous & say: “This is a rare moment of honestly here”. Would that be correct adab & honest of me?
This is a rare moment of honesty here. The Ash'ari view is that Allah is not related to creation in any way. This is indistinguishable from "deism." So much for the hope in Allah's Mercy. May Allah make our hearts content with His revelation instead of incoherent speculations.
When your paradigm says:
1. Real knowledge is in the fitra
2. There is no qanūn kullī with which you look at revelation
Then you should not enter philosophy. Stick to pure creed. It will save you, and us all, much trouble.

With respect, Jake missed the whole point of what Dr. Hamza Bakri had said. His point at the end was if the lafzī is not dāl of the nafsī, then what? This would entail ‘abath. I’m sure we can all agree that ‘abath is a naqs, can we not?
This is a terrible argument in defense of the Ash'ari position. I'll explain why. It relies on a false premise. It assumes that kalaam lafzi must correspond perfectly to kalaam nafsi. However, what's the argument for that? They don't have a good one. Not only do the Ash'aris lack

And what if I could show it to you from Arab and non-South Asian sources that are a thousand years old? Just because and Asian says something, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I don’t have an inferiority complex, you should lose yours. I’m no longer colonized, you should follow suit.
I feel some brothers really wanted to study Kalam but felt guilty… so they began attacking it so they could really study it and satiate their minds. I’m happy we could be of assistance.
Let alone if I actually ask you a question al-Āmidī himself would raise, such as whether the distinction between the different tanjeezy taʿalluqāt of the ṣifah an existential thing or a non-existential thing. Then, if you actually answer, I can make fun of you again.
@hanawahby25
Sorry. I disagree. I am not a Sayyid. They have a sharaf (honour) that I don’t have. That doesn’t upset me the slightest. I am honoured to serve them. I took everything from their grandfather. Unlike many moderns, I do believe in hierarchy. You don’t have to.
Many kind brothers reached out from Pakistan, particularly Lahore (Sharif). My apologies. It was a quick visit. A meeting at Zia ul Quran pubs and some book shopping. InshaAllah, in the near future, it’d be amazing to meet up with some of my dear brothers. You are all very kind.
@MMetaphysician
How many years have you done? No lies against Athari creed (hāshā) but there are contentions with Salafi creed. The Atharism of Shaykh al-Islam Muwaffaq al-Dīn Ibn Quddāma is not the same as that of al-Hāfiz Ibn Taymiyya. Let’s have a reading of Ibn Quddāma’s lum’at together?

The problem with Shah Ismail is that the line of thinking was the same as MIAW. Shah Ismail states explicitly that “The majority of people today are stuck in shirk”.

You are correct. Our paradigm is a pure creed based on the fiṭrah, as opposed to your yours. We do not look at revelation to perform eisegesis.
You are correct to advise against philosophy. This is where our meta-disciplinary criticism of the field comes in.
Within the Ottoman Empire, they had the Sultan’s kânunnâme. However, they had jurists such as Shaykh al-Islam Abu Suud Efendi to overlook this and reconcile any issues. So, is the term secular being used for the sake of it. Since, even the word mubāh is a shar’ī judgment?
The basic point of the secular in the modern West is to "liberate" certain pursuits--the state, the economy, science--from the authority of religion. This is also assumed to be the goal and meaning of "secular" in Islam. Sherman Jackson argues, however, that that assumption is

This is odd from the very beginning. It was a direct answer to a question. Perhaps, the brother didn’t expect my answer.
From what I recall, the Salafi position does not affirm the distinction of nafsī and lafzī. So why has he brought in the idea of God creating a word that is
People get moved by fuzzy words without really understanding what’s being said.
